The 187th Marietta Campmeeting will take place July 11-20 at the Marietta Campground (2301 Roswell Road, across from East Cobb United Methodist Church), starting with the traditional opening night picnic from 6-7 p.m.
That’s one of several special events and guest speakers who will feature at the revival that dates back to 1837 (full schedule here).
Other long-standing events include a watermelon-cutting (Saturday, July 12), an ice cream social (Tuesday, July 15) and tentholder meetings for members.
Daily services will take place at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., and the public also is invited. There’s also a special children’s church Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to noon with Bible lessons, games and crafts.
The guest preachers this year include Rev. Kim McGarr of Mt. Bethel Church, Rev. Kristen Lee of East Cobb UMC, Kevin Scott of Eastwood Baptist Church, and Rev. Ike Reighard of Piedmont Church and the CEO of MUST Ministries.
The list of musical entertainment is still being completed, but the Campmeeting announced Friday that on the final day, July 20, the special musical guests will be the Mylon Hayes Family at 7:30 p.m.
